We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimps. They are our one of our closest cousin. They live in troops of a few dozen. They are one of the few apes that can walk upright. Chimps diet varies from fruits, bugs,eggs, carrion, and will hunt other animals including, on rare occasions humans. They know how to make tools including spears. They use sticks to go termite fishing. They also use stone tools to get into hard to get to food like nuts. Very smart. Female chimps only give birth once a year. They can have babies at age 13 but aren't considered adults till age 16. They can live up to 50 years old in captivity.

Orangutans
In Mayan Orangutan means "Person of the forest". The "people of the forest" spend up to 90% of their lives in the trees. To observe their daily routine click here . The male orangutan has arms that are 7 ft long. These apes only live in Borneo and Sumatra. But you can tell where they are. There call can be heard from 3 miles away. Most of their diet consists of fruit and leaves gathered in the rain forest. They will also eat bark and on rare occasions meat. Most male orangutans will live alone. The leader of an orangutan band will be a male with a flat face. The female orangutan will only give birth once every 8 years. She will then raise her baby for 9 years. During this time the baby will be taught how to gather food.They also know how to make homes.They can live up to 60 years.
Mountain Gorilla
In the wild there are less than 700 mountain gorillas. There are around 23 bands of these gorillas. The leader of a a band is a male with silver fur. He is called a silver back. The rest of the males are called black backs. The silver back organizes everything from building nests, to eating, and sleeping. His females can have one infant at a time. The babies can climb seconds after birth. We also share 98.8 percent of our DNA with mountain gorillas. A stereotype for gorillas is that they are brutal killers, but they are always gentile. Like other apes they can learn sign language and ride horses. One gorilla named KoKo even knows how to care for a cat that she named All Ball.

Koko can cry for the loss of All Ball.
All Ball is missing part of his tall.
